Four sixteens were qualified and in the first flight no less than six Aronimink players were included, and one of them, Mr. Walter Reynolds, easily captured the medal with a fine 75. he scores follow: FIRS SIXEEN S.

Wright, Jr., who was in good form, winning both encounters on the 19th hole, one of his victims being Mr. H. H. Francine, who won the Philadelphia Championship this year. A great surprise was furnished when Mr. Reynolds, the medalist, was eliminated by Mr. F. P. Hill, of Stenton. Mr. Hill is one of the veteran players of the city and although his game is remarkably steady, few anticipated that he would be strong enough to defeat the Aronimink player. However, it remained for one of the visitors to win the chief trophy, and Mr. J. N. Stearns, 3d, of the Nassau Country Club, succeeded in doing this after a very close match with Mr. S. I. Jones, of Plymouth. Mr. Jones has been displaying excellent form throughout the year and his consistency has earned him a place on the Pennsylvania team for the Lesley matches. he summary of the play follows: FIRS SIXEEN S.

1114 HE AMERICAN GOLFER from the fine Aronimink player, Mr. Walter Reynolds, and although his play fell off somewhat in the final with Mr. Risley, yet it was a good match.
